Great card-- if you sand it down to size

June 28, 2023
In my experience, other SD cards tend to split and otherwise disintegrate into cameras, ruining them. I was excited about the Sony SF-G Tough card's features-- unibody, strong and fast. However, I read reviews that the SF-G is larger than other cards, and tends to get stuck in cameras. This is correct: it is bigger than, say, a Lexar SD card, and would clearly get stuck in my Lumix BGH1 camera (among others). I used sand paper and a digital caliper to evenly reduce the card's size to match the Lexar's: it now works perfectly. Here are the Lexar card's measurements: 31.96mm x 23.95mm x 2.05mm. Here are the SF-G's: 32.03mm x 24.04mm x 2.16mm. I photographed the serial number before I sanded it away. Dear Sony: please make your card's the same size as the Lexar’s so that they don’t ruin our cameras.
